Plasma lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: In recent years, a great number of studies have investigated the possible role of reactive oxygen species in the aetiology and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to investigate plasma concentrations of vitamin E, beta-carotene, activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase, levels of lipid peroxidation (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in 36 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 22 healthy age-matched controls. The plasma activity of GSH-Px and catalase (p… Show more

“…Lipid peroxides are generated at the site of tissue injury due to inflammation and diffuses into blood and can be estimated in serum or plasma [20]. Studies [21][22][23][24] have reported raised levels of MDA in the serum, plasma and erythrocytes of RA patients. In our study SOD levels are highly increased (Table 1).…”
